I had been seeing Panduh for vivid/fantasy hair color and was willing to overlook early red flags…read more-- until my third visit went so poorly, I was left with severely banded color, no resolution, and ultimately dropped as a client after voicing my concerns. A quick rewind: My first appointment resulted in chunky, uneven highlights around my face instead of a well-blended money piece. The second time, it blended better -- but the color wasn't applied close enough to my scalp, leaving a visible blond halo. I chalked it up to a learning curve and gave her a third shot. Her salon setup doesn't help: it's dimly lit, with black walls and a single window behind the chair -- great for her to see your hair, but you're completely backlit in the mirror, meaning you can't clearly see the results until you're in normal lighting. (In hindsight, that feels intentional.) At this last appointment, I came in with faded pink and brown roots, expecting a simple root bleach and color refresh. Instead, I left with a huge band of lighter pink across the middle of my head and a harsh transition to darker pink below. I didn't see it until I got home and looked in a properly lit mirror. When I texted photos and asked if she could fix it, she admitted she saw the banding -- but refused to fix it. Her excuse? That the appointment was too short and I "needed seven hours instead of five." Worth noting: I never book my own time. I always call and have her team schedule me, since they know my hair length and needs. She then pivoted, saying I don't come in "regularly enough" for my "color goals" (something she'd never mentioned before). I told her I would've adjusted my visits if that expectation had been communicated. Again, she refused to make it right -- and then fired me as a client. For reference: I was a $700-per-visit client. If this is how she treats someone investing that much, I can't imagine the experience for anyone spending less. If you still choose to go: pay with a solid credit card. Thankfully, mine sided with me and issued a full refund after seeing the photos and text thread. _____________________ Edited to add, in response to the salon's reply (8.12.25): To clarify a few things mentioned, for additional transparency: Again, I booked by phone every time so your team could allot enough time for my long, vivid-treated hair. I never used the online system. I never asked for any clients to be moved around. I never chose the length of my service. The first appointment was not fully corrected -- just a darker overlay added to blend the harsh bleach, which faded. I didn't push the issue and was never offered or given a refund, ever. Nor did I reach out about the issues with my second appointment; I fixed it myself. The lighting in the salon makes it very difficult to assess the results before leaving -- whether one black wall or not, the fact of the matter is Panduh's space is dim and backlit. I communicated calmly and respectfully, shared photos, and simply asked for the banding to be fixed. You acknowledged it and declined. Then dropped me as a client. If you're going to respond, please include the full context. I am.

I went to visit Tina after a referral from a friend that had an incredible haircut. I hadn't…read morevisited a salon in almost 6 months and had been taking care of my hair myself, with varying results. After exchanging a few texts with Tina I had an appointment scheduled. Tina was clear in that my appointment would take a chunk of time, as she had never worked with my hair before and wanted to do a full consultation to ensure my appointment would result in my dream look. It did! Tina is incredibly knowledgable and made sure to explain why she did and used every product she did. I felt comfortable enough to ask questions and she gave me tailored advice to use when I can not make it to the salon. She took the time to deep condition, protein treat and truly observe my hair to get my desired look. Her 'headside' manner is exquisite and she constantly made sure to check that she was not too rough or if I needed a break of any sort. The salon was spacious enough for the two of us and was an extremely relaxing environment. I would 100% recommend scheduling time with Tina and really enjoyed my visit. I look forward to my next visit!

I have 2 different textures and was curious about this FOAM she said was magical. Right now, I'm not noticing any shrinkage where curls are normally tighter. It's lighter, softer, same curl pattern and beautiful. I think I'm gonna check her out a few more times to see if she's the real deal.

Lashawn is the hair stylist I prayed for. She is punctual, personable and professional. Recently I…read morerelocated from New York and began researching stylists who specialize in natural hair. I stumbled upon Lashawn's skills on Instagram and knew then that I would be satisfied after booking an appointment. I waited until I could book an appointment online and her online scheduling system is the best. Simple and seamless. I booked a crochet box braid style and little did I know that the service comes with a wash service ! All inclusive. When I arrived Lashawn was ready for me and began immediately. The wash was the best I've had. Great products, warm steam treatment while washing and conditioning. Lashawn is so skilled she detangled my hair in 2 minutes flat. That's unheard of. The days are gone when stylists would yank and wrestle with my curls and spend over a half an hour parting and detangling and wasting time. I asked for a trim and everything was perfect. I can't wait for my little girl to experience what I did today. I booked an appointment for her as well. Lashawn gave practical advice and pointers on hair care. She uses quality products that are best suited for your hair. This salon experience was more like a spa experience. You won't regret it ladies.

If you are looking for wedding or special occasion styling I'd avoid this place…read more I reached out to Rebeca in early June about doing the styling for my wedding we emailed, talked on the phone She stated "I've been a stylist for almost 16 years. I've styled many, many weddings and formal events.". I went in for a payed trial on June 24th. Everything went great, I stated I wanted to book her for my wedding and asked about a deposit (she stated amount paid for trial would count) and I requested her to send a contract. She emailed me the photos from my trial same day. After 2 weeks no contract, email 3 times and called twice over the following 2 weeks and never got a reply. I still have no idea why she ghosted me. Very unprofessional, if she was unable or unwilling to provide the service she should have said right away. This left me looking for a new Stylist at the beginning of August for an October wedding, not a good situation. I got sort of lucky and someone is squeezing us in before another wedding. Which is better then DIY but not great. Save yourself the stress and avoid Rebeca as a wedding stylist.
